FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of 12 oz duck canvas and suede.
How do I clean the suede parts of the boots?
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
Does the aggressive tread affect walking on hard surfaces?
The aggressive V-lug outsole is designed for grip. While it provides excellent traction, it is generally comfortable for walking on paved surfaces due to the Sola Foam ADC insole.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are not advertised as waterproof. While the materials offer some resistance, they are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. Suede can be treated with a waterproofing spray for added protection.
What is the Sola Foam ADC insole?
Sola Foam ADC is a Polyurethane (PU) foam insole designed to provide cushioning and comfort for everyday wear.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Vans for accurate sizing. These boots are listed in UK adult men's sizes.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the boots come with two sets of laces. If you need replacements, you can use standard flat or round laces of a similar length.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. Try wearing them with thicker socks if the fit is too loose, or consider using the alternative lace set for a different fit.
Suede material shows water stains.
Allow the boots to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent stains, consider a suede protector spray before exposure to moisture or a specialized suede cleaner.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the V-lug outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. Regularly brush out the tread pattern to maintain its effectiveness. For extreme conditions, consider additional traction aids if necessary.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace the laces with a new pair. The boots come with two sets, so use the spare. If both pairs wear out, you can purchase similar flat or round laces to fit.
